A polyimide precursor solution contains a polyimide precursor, wherein in the case where the polyimide precursor is analyzed by gel permeation chromatography, the elution curve of the polyimide precursor has a region A including a higher-molecular-weight peak and a region B including a lower-molecular-weight peak; a weight average molecular weight determined from the region A in terms of polystyrene is approximately 10,000 or more, and a weight average molecular weight determined from the region B in terms of polystyrene is approximately less than 10,000; and when the area of the region A is a and the area of the region B is b, the polyimide precursor satisfies Equation (1) a/(a+b)=approximately from 0.70 to 0.98.  Equation 1:
